The TIVFD has purchased some Honeywell Uvex welding face shields as PPE for First Responder calls and we need some fleece bags made to store them in on the Rescue so they don’t get scratched.
We have the fleece material. We just need someone with a machine to seam them into bags to fit.
There is a photo on Thetis Posts, showing the size; they fit into the short paper Thrifty’s grocery bag. Please write to chief11@telus.net if you can manufacture some for us.
To Chris Call for removing sections of downed trees to make the Lawrence Valley Loop passable again.
He also cut the sections into disks for use as stepping stones in wet sections - we appreciate your hard work! And another big thank you to Noah and Finn Bond for carrying the disks to where they were needed.
We couldn’t maintain the trail system that Islanders enjoy without the help of volunteers like Chris, Noah and Finn.
The first delivery of your Thetis Island grocery donations to the food bank in Chemainus was made Thursday by volunteer driver Amanda Frisby, much to our thanks and great appreciation from Harvest House.
You now have until December 16th to drop off your non-expired grocery items in the box at the front door of the Fire Hall.
Merry Gooding has volunteered to transport those, so let’s “load ‘er up” with more non-perishable items that will help to feed and comfort those neighbours struggling this year to make ends meet with the added burden of the pandemic.
Do we have a computer "digital access" specialist on Thetis Island?
I have lost the user name and password on my phone AP "Easy Bullet" that allows tuning of the Coast Marine WiFi antenna system. This Saanich company is no longer in business.
This weekend Dec 5th and 6th I will be selling my jams and jellies at the end of our driveway. You will find us at 162 Pilkey Point Road. All jams are $5 Marmalade is $7. Have gift packages too.
9-4 Both days. Will also have them the weekend of Dec 12th and 13th same time in the same place.
Many of you have enjoyed the benefits of having wwoofers from across Canada and around the world join our community over the years. Energetic ping pong players, dance instructors, fire hall volunteers, solar panel providers, gardeners, heavy lifters, engine fixers, bread bakers, puppeteers, child minders, bridge & sign builders, new friends and more.
Covid-19 has changed the way that Jollity has welcomed helpers this past year. Regardless, we've continued carefully but with many less hands and turnover, as well as mostly just Canadians.
We've been busy and had a lot of fun creating a video entry for the 2020 WWOOF Canada video contest featuring past and current Wwoofers, original music by farm helper Jeremie, community garden members and cameos by our animal friends.
The contest winners will be decided by a combination of jury voting based upon merit (story line and overall execution) but also popular vote. That's where you come in to help!
Please watch our video entry on YouTube #MyWWOOFCanadaStory: Why Wwoof now?
If you like it, please give us a THUMBS UP (icon just under the video) on YouTube. If you have friends and family that would appreciate the video and have visited the farm, please share it around.
Thanks so much for your support!
Farmers Elisabeth & Noah
